Services
Storybook Physiotherapy provides a range of services to support babies through their developmental leaps.
I’m a Melbourne-based paediatric physiotherapist who found my heart in infant care — specifically in the first year, when so much is changing so fast.
At Storybook Physiotherapy, we specialise in infant physiotherapy and early development, supporting babies from newborn through to walking age. Our focus is on helping babies move, regulate and develop with greater ease and confidence during the most important stages of early life.
After years working with babies, I kept seeing the same gap: parents with very real worries about their little one’s head shape, feeding or movement, being told to simply “watch and wait.” I knew there was a gentler, more proactive way — and so Storybook Physiotherapy was born.
Combining evidence-based care with a holistic approach to infant movement and development, we support babies with a range of early concerns — including torticollis, head shape changes, body tension, movement asymmetries, delayed milestones and low muscle tone, as well as overall gross motor development. In everything we do, the goal is the same: to create strong foundations for lifelong movement and development.
Because babies can’t tell us in words — but their bodies say plenty, if you know how to listen. My job is to listen closely, help you understand the chapter you’re in, and support your little one toward the next one.
